It says he's a DJ/producer, but doesn't give any examples of his work. You'd think he'd be proud of his music, right?
I was legit curious, so I dug in and found his SoundCloud, and for the last five years, it's just "motivational" speeches. Nothing in the last five years. And what I did find has not aged well. I'm going to guess he's always been a speaker first and a producer second. Which is fine, if you want to teach people how to become a speaker, but at this point, it looks like his priorities are outside of music, and I kind of see why.
There's a lesson we can learn from this, summed up by a somewhat more legitimate artist.
